Extreme incivility from user you warned before

Hi RegentsPark, I thought this ANI thread might be of interest to you since you warned this user in the past for such behaviour-[1]. It's clear that this user paid no heed to that warning since his edit history is dominated with gross attacks and condescending remarks. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 12:44, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

anniversary templates

only reason i reverted the template is because he has posted a number of duplicates, but i suppose that's fine. it just read as test edits to me. also a little unusual for a very new account, but then maybe I'm biting the newcomer... -- Aunva6talk - contribs 21:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

No worries. Some newcomers hang around posting templates or making minor, often pointless, edits while they get used to Wikipedia. RegentsPark (comment) 21:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Regarding your edit in List of battles involving the Maratha Confederacy:

Hi,

A consensus is indeed necessitated when there exists a contention regarding the outcome of a battle, war, or siege. However, in this instance, all the wars have unequivocal results, corroborated by numerous credible sources. By perusing the links that annotate the battles, one can readily ascertain the results. The issue at hand pertains to the table of results, where victories of the Marathas were erroneously represented as defeats. I rectified this discrepancy and had also cited an incomplete list prior to the table. I implore you to abstain from such edits, as they consume my time and effort in adding or correcting information. It would be more prudent to question the editor who initially created the article, given the numerous instances of incorrect results. I trust my perspective is now lucid to you.

@Mohammad Umar Ali: It doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong. If you're making a major change to an article, you should seek consensus. At the minimum, you should add a note on the talk page explaining why you're making the change. Since you've reverted me, I suggest you add that explanation to the talk page.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct and Wikimedia's Technical Code of Conduct.

A documentary filmmaker will be in attendance, working on Rabbit Hole, which aims to document Wikipedia's community to showcase how our network tackles important questions about how history is recorded. They will be in attendance to film snippets of this gathering for the documentary. It is completely optional to be a part of the film and there will be protocols in place if you wish to not be filmed. If there are any questions about the filming please reach out to the filmmaker, Meg Vatterott (meg.vatterott@gmail.com).
